Inferring from the context, what does “read the economic tea leaves” mean? 從上下文推斷,「閱讀經濟茶葉」是什麼意思?第一段第四句,私人投資者想找出最好的投資方向。第一段第五句,專家正在預測接下來是否會經濟衰退。第一段第六句,(但是)市場動態使得專家難以「read the economic tea leaves」結合這三句話,推論 read the economic tea leaves 是預測未來經濟tea-leaf reading (ph.) 茶葉占卜(雅虎字典)read the tea leaves 以小見大例句:If you read the tea leaves, you will know whom the prize belongs to.如果你看一些小細節,你就會知道誰是最後的贏家了。來源:https://www.facebook.com/toeicsoeasy/posts/2296478147319088/(A) To predict the future economy. 預測未來經濟。(B) To defeat an economic recession. 戰勝經濟衰退。(C) To challenge the economic condition. 挑戰經濟狀況。(D) To estimate how many people are affected by inflation. 估計有多少人受到通貨膨脹的影響。中英對照第一段:點出通貨膨脹正在發生,許多人想預測未來經濟發展,但市場動態使未來難以預料。Feeling squeezed by rising prices and a higher cost of living? 感覺受到物價上漲和生活成本上漲的擠壓?If you share such a sentiment, you should find plenty company. 如果你有這種情緒,你應該能找到很多同伴。In fact, we are experiencing a tide of inflations, and the economic challenge is global in scale. 事實上,我們正在經歷通貨膨脹浪潮,而且經濟挑戰的規模是全球性的。Private investors are careful hoping to figure out the best way forward. 私人投資者正在謹慎的希望找出最好的前進方向。Professionals and economists are analyzing data trying to predict whether a recession will follow. 專業人士和經濟學家正在分析數據,試圖預測經濟衰退是否會隨之而來。Going against conventional wisdom, the market dynamics in major countries have made it challenging for professionals to read the economic tea leaves. 與傳統觀念相反,主要國家的市場動態使得專業人士難以預測經濟未來。(tea-leaf reading ph. 茶葉占卜)第二段:通貨膨漲可能導致經濟衰退,但現在市場動態是勞動市場強勁、消費者支出沒有減少,因此專家的預測偏向正向積極。 With the current inflation showing no signs of slowing down, a decline in economic activity seems quite likely. 由於目前的通貨膨脹沒有放緩的跡象,經濟活動似乎很可能會減少。That is, the rising costs of goods and services are negatively affecting consumers’ abilities to buy things. 也就是說,商品和服務成本上漲正在對消費者的購買能力產生負面影響。A decrease in consumer spending may shrink the market demand and slow economic growth, which possibly leads to fewer jobs and a decline in employment, signs of recession. 消費者支出減少可能會導致市場需求萎縮、使經濟增長放緩,這可能導致就業機會減少和就業(率)下降,出現經濟衰退的跡象。However, in reality, a strong labor market, with more jobs created and more workers hired at higher wages, and no decrease in consumer spending have directed economists to make a more positive forecast on recession. 然而,實際上,勞動力市場強勁,創造了更多的就業機會、以更高的工資僱用了更多的工人,而且消費者支出沒有減少,這些都促使經濟學家對經濟衰退做出更正向的預測。第三段:解釋現在市場動態的可能因素:消費者需求上升、供應不足、油價上漲、糧食問題。 Indeed, it is hard to interpret the conflicting signals in the ongoing foggy market conditions, a result of several complex factors. 事實上,由於幾個複雜的因素,很難解釋這個持續的迷霧市場狀態下相互矛盾的訊號。The current inflation was driven by a surge in demand of goods as countries gradually emerged from lockdowns. 隨著各國逐漸解除封鎖,商品需求激增推動了當前的通貨膨脹。On the other hand, there had been a supply shortage caused by delays and disruptions in supply chain brought by COVID-19 pandemic. 另一方面,由於 COVID-19 大流行帶來的供應鏈延誤和中斷,導致供應短缺。An increase in costs was further fueled by rising oil prices resulting from Russians’ invasion of Ukraine. 俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭導致油價上漲,進一步推高了成本。Finally, humankind is confronted with yet another blow, global food insecurity, due to the pandemic, war in Ukraine, and the shocking climate change, which may cause inflation to skyrocket even higher. 最後,人類面臨尚未來臨的又一次打擊:全球糧食不穩定,由於 COVID-19 大流行、烏克蘭戰爭和令人震驚的氣候變化,這可能導致通貨膨脹率進一步飆升。英文7000單字表https://hiworldwelcome.blogspot.com/2021/12/7000.html

Which argument in the essay is best explained by the second paragraph? 第二段最好地解釋了文章中的哪個論點?第二段的前三句說明通貨膨脹一般而言會帶來的後果,最後一句點出現況和以往經驗不同之處。選 D 最符合。(A) Private investors are careful to take further economic measures. 私人投資者謹慎採取進一步的經濟舉措。(B) Economists make better decisions because they process and interpret data. 經濟學家做出更好的決策,因為他們處理和解釋數據。(C) People across the world share the experience of a rising cost of living. 世界各地的人們都經歷著生活成本上漲的問題。(D) The present market dynamics are going against the conventional wisdom about economic performance. 目前的市場動態與經濟表現的一般常識/傳統觀念背道而馳。中英對照第一段:點出通貨膨脹正在發生,許多人想預測未來經濟發展,但市場動態使未來難以預料。Feeling squeezed by rising prices and a higher cost of living? 感覺受到物價上漲和生活成本上漲的擠壓?If you share such a sentiment, you should find plenty company. 如果你有這種情緒,你應該能找到很多同伴。In fact, we are experiencing a tide of inflations, and the economic challenge is global in scale. 事實上,我們正在經歷通貨膨脹浪潮,而且經濟挑戰的規模是全球性的。Private investors are careful hoping to figure out the best way forward. 私人投資者正在謹慎的希望找出最好的前進方向。Professionals and economists are analyzing data trying to predict whether a recession will follow. 專業人士和經濟學家正在分析數據,試圖預測經濟衰退是否會隨之而來。Going against conventional wisdom, the market dynamics in major countries have made it challenging for professionals to read the economic tea leaves. 與傳統觀念相反,主要國家的市場動態使得專業人士難以預測經濟未來。(tea-leaf reading ph. 茶葉占卜)第二段:通貨膨漲可能導致經濟衰退,但現在市場動態是勞動市場強勁、消費者支出沒有減少,因此專家的預測偏向正向積極。 With the current inflation showing no signs of slowing down, a decline in economic activity seems quite likely. 由於目前的通貨膨脹沒有放緩的跡象,經濟活動似乎很可能會減少。That is, the rising costs of goods and services are negatively affecting consumers’ abilities to buy things. 也就是說,商品和服務成本上漲正在對消費者的購買能力產生負面影響。A decrease in consumer spending may shrink the market demand and slow economic growth, which possibly leads to fewer jobs and a decline in employment, signs of recession. 消費者支出減少可能會導致市場需求萎縮、使經濟增長放緩,這可能導致就業機會減少和就業(率)下降,出現經濟衰退的跡象。However, in reality, a strong labor market, with more jobs created and more workers hired at higher wages, and no decrease in consumer spending have directed economists to make a more positive forecast on recession. 然而,實際上,勞動力市場強勁,創造了更多的就業機會、以更高的工資僱用了更多的工人,而且消費者支出沒有減少,這些都促使經濟學家對經濟衰退做出更正向的預測。第三段:解釋現在市場動態的可能因素:消費者需求上升、供應不足、油價上漲、糧食問題。 Indeed, it is hard to interpret the conflicting signals in the ongoing foggy market conditions, a result of several complex factors. 事實上,由於幾個複雜的因素,很難解釋這個持續的迷霧市場狀態下相互矛盾的訊號。The current inflation was driven by a surge in demand of goods as countries gradually emerged from lockdowns. 隨著各國逐漸解除封鎖,商品需求激增推動了當前的通貨膨脹。On the other hand, there had been a supply shortage caused by delays and disruptions in supply chain brought by COVID-19 pandemic. 另一方面,由於 COVID-19 大流行帶來的供應鏈延誤和中斷,導致供應短缺。An increase in costs was further fueled by rising oil prices resulting from Russians’ invasion of Ukraine. 俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭導致油價上漲,進一步推高了成本。Finally, humankind is confronted with yet another blow, global food insecurity, due to the pandemic, war in Ukraine, and the shocking climate change, which may cause inflation to skyrocket even higher. 最後,人類面臨尚未來臨的又一次打擊:全球糧食不穩定,由於 COVID-19 大流行、烏克蘭戰爭和令人震驚的氣候變化,這可能導致通貨膨脹率進一步飆升。英文7000單字表https://hiworldwelcome.blogspot.com/2021/12/7000.html

What is the first paragraph mainly about? 第一段主旨為何?A是第二段的內容,CD 涵括在 B 選項中,故選 B(A) Why ancient Greeks liked orchids 為什麼古希臘人喜歡蘭花(B) How orchids received their name 蘭花是如何得名的(C) Where orchids were first found 最早發現蘭花的地方(D) When orchids were first named 蘭花最初被命名的時間中英對照 Orchids earned their name from the Greek word orchis, meaning testicle – a male sex organ in all animals. 蘭花的名字源於希臘詞 orchis,意思是睾丸——所有動物的雄性性器官。Their fleshy underground tubers were thought to resemble testicles, at least that’s what Greek botanist The'ophrastos thought at the time. 他們的肉質地下塊莖被認為類似於睾丸,至少當時希臘植物學家泰奧弗拉斯托斯是這麼認為的。The phalaenopsis orchids, commonly referred to as moth orchids, earned their name from mistaken identity. 飛蛾花型蘭,通常被稱為蝴蝶蘭,因被錯認的特性而得名。When Swedish Naturalist Peter Osbeck spied them in his field glasses while visiting Java in the mid-1750s, he thought they were a cluster of moths. 1750 年代中期,瑞典博物學家 Peter Osbeck 去爪哇,在他的雙筒望遠鏡中發現它們時,他認為它們是一群飛蛾。Although they were not officially named for another 75 years, the common name moth orchid has endured. 儘管它們在後續 75 年內沒有被正式命名,但蝴蝶蘭的俗名一直存在。 The ancient Greeks thought orchids were a symbol of virility. 古希臘人認為蘭花是男子氣概的象徵。In fact, they were so convinced of the connection between orchids and fertility that they believe orchids with large tuberous roots symbolized a male child, while orchids with small tubers symbolized a female child. 事實上,他們深信蘭花與生育力之間的聯繫,以至於他們認為帶有大塊根的蘭花象徵著男孩,而帶有小塊根的蘭花則像徵著女孩。 The Aztecs reportedly mixed the vanilla orchid with chocolate to create a tasty elixir that was thought to promote power and strength. 據報導,阿茲特克人將香莢蘭與巧克力混合製成一種美味的靈丹妙藥,被認為可以增強能量和力氣。Although the Victorians didn’t use orchids as magical elixirs, they did collect and display them as a sign of luxury and a means to exhibit their refined taste. 儘管維多利亞時代的人並沒有將蘭花用作神奇的靈丹妙藥,但他們確實收藏並展示蘭花作為奢華的標誌和展示其精緻品味的手段。英文7000單字表https://hiworldwelcome.blogspot.com/2021/12/7000.html

他誇自己的朋友說:「萬里橫戈探虎穴,三杯拔劍舞龍泉。」

【評論主題】14. 依據以上資料推論,此鳥被命名為「蚊母鳥」、「吐蚊鳥」的原因,最可能是下列何者?(A)鳴叫引出蚊子的現象如同母獸呼喚幼獸(B)在夏夜吐出的氣息溫潤可促使蚊子孵化(C)與蚊子白日潛伏、夜晚出沒的習
【評論內容】
《唐國史補》:「江東有蚊母鳥,亦謂之蚊吐鳥,夏則夜鳴,吐蚊於叢葦間。」
-> 蚊母鳥在江東,又稱蚊吐鳥,夏天會在晚上鳴叫、在叢葦間吐蚊。
《清稗類鈔》:「蚊母鳥,⋯⋯晝伏森林,夕則飛翔河邊,食蚊虻羽蟻。」
-> 蚊母鳥白天時潛伏休息,傍晚在在河邊飛翔、吃蚊虻羽蟻
《國語辭典》釋「夜鷹」:「動物名。體大如鳩,褐色,晝伏夜出,捕食蚊蟻。或稱『蚊母鳥』。」
-> 夜鷹,又稱蚊母鳥,體型像鳩一樣大,褐色,白天休息晚上活動,抓捕蚊蟻當作食物。
三段共通點:蚊母鳥,又稱蚊吐鳥,白天潛伏休息,傍晚、晚上出來活動,晚上會鳴叫、捕食蚊蟻。
(A) 鳴叫引出蚊子的現象如同母獸呼喚幼獸 -> 沒有提到
(B) 在夏夜吐出的氣息溫潤可促使蚊子孵化 -> 「蚊母鳥吐蚊」的解釋應該是蚊母鳥把蚊蟲吐出來,且綜合三段記載,蚊母鳥沒有孵化蚊子的行為。
(C) 與蚊子白日潛伏、夜晚出沒的習性相同 -> 沒提到蚊子是否晝伏夜出,無法判斷本選項是否正確,通常考題不會出太超出文章內容的答案。
(D) 夜晚時捕食飛蟲,被古人看成吐出蚊子 -> 從清朝和現代的記載,可以判斷此鳥夜間會捕食飛蟲,唐朝記錄成「吐蚊」,可推論出兩者應該是同一種行為。

【評論內容】
考點第一段重點中英對照Why is carbon dioxide put underground? 為什麼二氧化碳會被埋在地下?
(A) To light up greenhouses. 點亮溫室。
(B) To cool down soda drinks. 冷卻汽水。
(C) To limit global warming. 限制全球暖化。
(D) To worsen climate change. 加劇氣候變化。
第一段:介紹CCUS
Carbon dioxide (CO2 ) is good at holding in heat from the Sun, and even a small increase of the gas in the atmosphere can cause Earth to get even warmer. 二氧化碳 (CO2) 能很好地保存來自太陽的熱量,即使大氣中(CO2)氣體的少量增加也會使地球變得更加溫暖。
Carbon capture, usage and storage ( CCUS ) is about different technologies that can keep CO2 produced by factories and power plants from causing global warming. 碳捕捉、利用和儲存 (CCUS) 是關於防止工廠和發電廠產生的二氧化碳導致全球暖化的不同技術。
The idea is simple, and there are only a few main steps in the process. 這個概念很簡單,而且過程中只有幾個主要步驟。
The first step is about trapping carbon emissions from factory chimneys. 第一步是從工廠煙囪中捕捉碳排放。
For instance, a filter can be placed in the chimney, so that the carbon is trapped and it cannot go out into the atmosphere. 例如,可以在煙囪中放置一個過濾器,這樣碳就可以被截留,而不會排放到大氣中。
Then, the gas is piped to places where it can be stored or used. 然後,氣體被輸送到可以儲存或使用的地方。
(CD) If stored underground, it cannot contribute to the climate crisis. 如果儲存在地下,它不會導致氣候危機。
(AB) If used, for instance, it can help grow greenhouse plants or make soda drinks. 如果利用它,舉例來說,它可以幫助種植溫室植物或製作汽水。
第二段:CCUS在全球的運作現況
While CCUS projects can clearly benefit the environment, these projects are not straightforward as there are many issues to be dealt with, such as maintaining the storage site, which have slowed start-ups of CCUS projects worldwide. 雖然 CCUS 項目顯然可以使環境受益,但這些項目並不簡單,因為需要處理許多問題,例如維護儲存場地,這減緩了全球 CCUS 項目的啟動。
Thus, with only a few CCUS projects operating now, there still aren’t enough to seriously help with the world’s carbon emissions. 因此,目前只有少數幾個 CCUS 項目在運作,仍然不足以真正幫助減少世界的碳排放。
Early forerunners in this technology are the US, Canada, and Norway. 這項技術的早期先驅是美國、加拿大和挪威。
The good news is that CCUS has now gained momentum in other countries, where 30 new projects have begun in the past three years. 好消息是,CCUS 現在在其他國家獲得了發展動能,在過去三年中,這些國家已經啟動了 30 個新項目。
The International Energy Agency says there must be many more to keep carbon emissions from heating the world too much. 國際能源署表示,必須採取更多措施來防止碳排放使世界過度升溫。

解題技巧
先看問題再回去看圖表,最後看文章(因為要先找到題目想問的重點,而圖表比文章更好理解)。
中英對照與解析
【題組】32. According to the line graph, which of the following is true? 根據折線圖,下列哪項是正確的?
(A) All the rooms in this hotel were occupied in July, 2021. 這家旅館的所有房間於 2021 年 7 月都有人入住。
-> 2020 年 7 月有大約 65 人入住,所以可以推論這間旅館至少有 65 間房間;2021 年 7 月 只有大約 45 人入住,所以並非所有房間都有人入住。
(B) About 40 rooms in this hotel were left vacant in June, 2021. 2021 年 6 月,這家旅館約有 40 間客房空置。
-> 應把 left vacant 改為 occupied。2021 年 6 月,這家旅館約有 40 間客房有人入住。
vacant (adj.) 空白的;(職位) 空缺的
(C) More people were quarantined in this hotel in 2021 than 2020. 2021 年在這家旅館被隔離的人數比 2020 年多。
-> 少。2021 年的折線大多都在 2020 年的折線之下,可以大致判斷 2021 年的入住人數較少。
仔細計算,2020年入住總人數約為 630 人;2021年約為 515 人。
(D) More than 40 rooms in this hotel were occupied in April, 2020. 2020 年 4 月,該旅館有 40 多間客房已有人入住。
The Diamond Hotel is a quarantine hotel. 鑽石旅館是一家隔離旅館。

先看問題再回去看圖表,最後看文章(因為要先找到題目想問的重點,而圖表比文章更好理解),可以發現理解題目之後能在圖表中找到答案。但更謹慎一點還是把文章看完。
